Advice for Vendors

A few tricks of the trade to help turn for sale, to sold!

We will do our utmost to show your property in a good light to as many people as possible but there are some things that you can do too.

A fresh coat of paint is a good start, beginning, perhaps, with the front door but take a look at the windows and even the garden gate, if you have one. Whilst you're at at give the garden a tidy, too.
A first-time buyer might be put off by damp stains caused by a minor leakage get it fixed and painted over.

Nobody expects to walk into a show-house but a tidy environment will almost certainly create a good impression.

In winter, have lights on during the day time and check that all the bulbs are working. If you have a fireplace, get a cosy fire going.

In summer, draw back those curtains and open the freshly cleaned windows.

Plug-in air-fresheners or scented candles make a room smell fresh.

A positve sign is if a buyer sits down - they clearly feel comfortable so make sure that there isn't too much clutter on the coffee table and there is an easy route to the sofa or armchair.
